History[]
Omniverse[]
Clyde appeared in Clyde Five where he visited Plumbers' HQ with his grandmother, Vera. Vera wanted him to become a Plumber, but Clyde digressed, saying he wanted to be a superhero like his cousin Ben. Ben and Rook attempted to convince Clyde that being a superhero isn't easy and being a Plumber is much easier. They then roamed around Undertown looking for crime and found Liam attempting to rob a sock cart. Ben, Rook, and Clyde defeated Liam and, as a reward, the Sock Vendor allowed Clyde to take a sock of his choosing. Clyde found the Mark 5 Nanoshift Enabled Exo-Armor used by Liam to rob the cart and mistook it for a sock. The vendor let him keep it, and Clyde later found out it was an advanced piece of machinery, which he then called the Cincotrix.
Clyde tested out all the powers and modes but accidentally went into flight mode and destroyed parts of buildings and almost injures a few people before landing on the ground. Liam, Thunderpig, and some Techadon robots appeared and attempted to take the Cincotrix from him. Clyde deactivated it and put Liam to sleep while Thunderpig ran away in fear. He then got the Cincotrix under control and went to Mr. Smoothy with Ben and Rook, who tried to convince him to remove it. He showed them that he had control over it and was responsible enough to handle it.
Suddenly, he lost control over the Cincotrix as Liam used a remote control on it. Clyde attacked Ben under the control of the Cincotrix and destroyed some buildings and Plumber vehicles. Ben told him to read the manual, which he did, and regained control. Later, he went back to Plumber HQ with Ben and Rook who allowed him to keep the Cincotrix. Clyde then decided he wants to become a Plumber like Rook and left with Vera.
